I didn’t expect a question about my LinkedIn headline to stop me in my tracks.

But it did.

This episode is about the strange discomfort of being recognised — and the even stranger idea that sharing our wins might not be about us at all. It’s about the pause that comes when someone sees something in you that you’re not quite ready to own… and what happens when you choose to show up anyway.

In this episode, I share what happened when I led an identity exercise at work — and surprised myself by what I wrote. It made the room go still. And in that stillness, I paused too. This is a story about invisible identities, quiet loss, and the unexpected power of naming what we usually keep hidden. Sometimes, the softest truth changes the entire room — and leaves you seeing yourself differently.

Before the stories, the questions.

This short trailer introduces This Made Me Pause—a podcast about the unexpected moments that make us stop, shift, and see things differently.
 
Each week, I’ll share one real moment that changed how I saw work, life, or myself. No life hacks. Just honest reflections from life in progress.
 
If you're wondering what matters now, this is your cue to pause.
